This evening I start my journey to San Francisco for the AGU Fall Meeting<\/a>.\u00a0 My plan is to blog and to tweet from the meeting (if I can manage to find five minutes to sit still at any point…).\u00a0 I will be attending many of the Natural Hazards sessions, plus the various blogging events and the social media soiree, and some talks on climate change, geomorphology and suchlike.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I thought I’d highlight a few sessions that are of interest at the EGU 2012 meeting in Vienna.\u00a0 EGU remains the undisputed best place for natural hazards-facing sessions, as the list below attests, although I suspect that within a few years AGU will be challenging that meeting (and there are interesting rumblings about the ambitions to the annual meeting of the Japan Geosciences Union<\/a>, which potentially would provide a nice Asian counterpart as well).\u00a0 I highlight here one of the many interdisciplinary hazards sessions, plus the dozen or so landslide-facing ones.\u00a0 Unfortunately I will not be at EGU this year (the first that I have missed in six or so years):<\/p>\n

As usual, Papers can be submitted online either for a poster session or for oral presentations.\u00a0 The Abstract Deadline is 17th January 2012<\/strong> and information on submitting abstracts is available through the EGU website at: http:\/\/meetings.copernicus.org\/egu2012\/abstract_management\/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The EGU website at http:\/\/meetings.copernicus.org\/egu2012\/home.html<\/a> also contains detailed information about the meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
